Tennis Tip: Ball Toss on the Serve

The ball toss on a serve is a key componant to a good serve. When the toss goes awry so does the serve. A quick drill to check the location of the toss is to lay the racket on the ground at an angle in line with your front toe. Place your weight in your back leg. Cradle the ball with the thumb, index, and middle finger of your toss hand. As you shift your weight from the back to the front foot toss the ball up aiming for it to land in the middle of the racket head.
